The wages are often a lot cheaper than the equivalent jobs at ITV or elsewhere, that's just what it costs.Originally Posted by life on mars
You could fund the BBC for 10 years on what the government have wasted on a non functional test and trace system.
For many older people, the job that the BBC does to help improve their mental well-being is a form of healthcare.
my ex in-laws are both staunch Tory supporters, in an incredibly safe Tory seat, and they would be very much against cuts to the BBC, and I suspect they aren't alone in that. the Tories are walking a dangerous path on this one
As is freeview
If the BBC changes, I'd imagine the whole system change too so I wouldn't rely on that.
The licence fee is very good value in my opinion. 43p a day, I’d pay that just for Popmaster
The BBC also has a profound impact on the quality of other broadcasters output in the UK.
Do you think ITV would bother investing in producing quality dramas if the BBC output was diminished? they would quickly revert to cheaply made tv, the cheapest that can get enough viewers for their ads as possible.
Go and watch TV in France or Australia and you'll see how shite it will get
Wages in the media are simply unreal. When I read that Gary Lineker earns £1.3m a year, for what is basically 90 minutes once a week, it's not that I don't believe it - it's that I can't see how they can justify it. And Zoe Ball is apparently on a similar amount, yet her radio show has been losing listeners since the day she took over. But at least she works five days a week.
It is quite incredible and they pay way above other TV operators
Might want to check your workings on that. Ant and Dec are on £3.3m just for I'm A Celebrity according to reports - a three year golden handcuffs deal worth £40m.
it
Those two may well be earning very big bucks but I'm guessing that particular wage is a stand out on a private media company and paid by the revenue not the taxpayer , you need to consider all of the BBC labilities , from property , backroom , buildings facility contracts ,new builds , etc etc it dwarfs most private media companies .
£4.0 billion is crazy money, never mind the pension liability its not just about Ant and Dec v 90 minute a week 1.3 million Gary Lineker .
But your post was about salaries of presenters.
Do you know how ITV get the money to pay their salaries/building expenses/and so on? I'll give you a clue, the same pocket that BBC money comes from.
they really don't
Just making stuff up as passing it off as fact as usual then

Exactly, still a good wedge but nowhere near "way above other TV operators"
And it goes down the line, BBC pays crew less than independent companies as well.
Just completely making stuff up
No they don't. You're peddling untruths.
For example, Tony Romo reputedly gets $18M a year from CBS. What Lineker gets is a drop in the bucket in comparison.
